Yeah that's definitely not what I would have pictured.

I always thought hed look like Alan Meltzer

Same

Meltzer used to do a lot of the UFC press events so the first time I saw him he was interviewing Dana White and I had the same reaction as the rest of you. It was a "that's not the same Dave Melzter" moment.

You guys should really be following the Melzter in the 90s twitter though. Not only does it feature a pic of his sweet mullet but you also get some great insight like...

Its amazing to me how "far" the Bellas have gone with negative acting ability

This comic feels like it perfectly describes Vince and the IWC:

Stumbled upon this, thought it might be enjoyed even though it's 18 months old:

WWE sent out a very interesting survey today. If you have 5 mins, it might be worth going through it.

I'm going through it but I get to the Network part where they ask what device you watch on but I don't have it so I get no options on the next page so I get an error. Maybe just sent to Network subscribers?

That's strange, I just tried it incognito and it worked.

idk I put down that I watch on a tablet and I was able to finish it.

I just had a look at this. Do they really have a guy on the roster named No Way Jose?

They do and he's kinda awesome

I know this is going to sound kind of dumb and bad but I think there's a non-zero chance we get Goldberg/Reigns or Brock/Goldberg/Reigns at WM. I'm assuming Seth/HHH and Owens/Jericho is a lock. I would think Owens/Jericho isn't strong enough for a WM title match and HHH getting another title shot would be the dumbest **** ever so I'm guessing Reigns wins the title in the next few months since there's pretty much no one else. That leaves him without a credible opponent for WM though.

My guess is that either Lesnar or Goldberg wins the rumble and they do Goldberg/Lesnar 2 at Fastlane with the winner being added to the main event.

They could always just have Cena or Ambrose win and switch brand or something but I'm hoping they go with Cena/Taker and Ambrose sucks.

Strowman vs Reigns!

I wouldn't mind Bork/Reigns 2

I don't believe you.

Does Bruce Prichard generally have the reputation of shooting straight? My inclination would be to call bull**** on basically this whole clip, but I know his podcast has a good rep so I guess I'm at least questioning if this stuff could be true.

Highlights:
*WM 7 was meant to be Hogan vs. Tugboat, with Tugboat being the pro-Iraq traitor.
*General Adnan was actually a childhood friend of Saddam Hussein IRL.
*WM 7 venue change really was to do with security issues in light of the war, not about soft ticket sales.

I mentioned in the podcast thread that I thought he was full of **** quite a few times which is the only reason I quit listening to him after the first three episodes. All of those things being him taking WWE's/Vince's side on things that are so very clearly lies*. He seems like he still wants future paychecks from Vince & Co.. But take that fwiw.

*for instance WM 7 being moved because of terrorist threats.

I actually buy Prichard's story about WM 7 moving because of security. He actually explained it in a way that makes complete sense. Now don't get me wrong, I do believe that there was a very good chance that the govt gave WWF the excuse it needed to downsize the arena, but I do believe Prichard in his telling of that story

That clip is from the original Ric Flair podcast. Prichard actually did an entire 2 hr podcast on WM VII that was really good, and he goes into detail on all of that stuff. I recommend that plus some other ones. They did a really good one on Sunny a couple weeks ago

[barnett voice]I can't. I just can't!

does the fact that mark henry didn't get a title run after the salmon fake retirement incident bother anyone else
